<<<<<But the real problem is federal entitlements: Social Security, Medicare, and Federal Pensions. >>> Damnit! I don't want to argue SS again. They fixed it in the 80's and there is trillions in the account. If you want to fix it AGAIN and make the baby boomers pay for something they already paid for - then do it. Just be prepared to pay the political cost. I'm for both taxes and cuts because I want a balanced budget. Medicare is an awful mess and will take a genius to find a solution. There may not be one for the three reasons I pointed out. BUT one side won't be able to fix it alone. Not without riots in the streets. Federal pensions; Well, I'd start by eliminating Homeland Security and Allllllllll those pensions. Federal jobs went up under Reagan down under Clinton up under Bush and aren't they going back down again now? But ya, I agree federal work force should shrink and pay go down. Want me to NOT be Mr nice guy; I would tax energy more! There that will give you something to beat me up for.
